Each town, city, borough and state handle trash pickup in a different manner. Apartment dwellers may have the easiest way to dispose of their trash. An apartment usually has a large dumpster or two in the rear of the building and the tenants can deposit their trash in them any time or day of the week. This is a great convenience and much easier than those who must wait to put their trash out on a particular day.

Most people take their trash pickup for granted, however, if it wasn't there, it would be sorely missed.
